Hey everyone! I'm trying to troubleshoot my first PC build. I've got an Intel i5 11600KF, a GTX 1080, and 16GB of DDR4 RAM, but I'm running into an issue where it won't post. The RGB light on the motherboard is on, the CPU fans are spinning, and there aren't any error LEDs showing up. I've checked for obvious damage and tried swapping out different cables for a couple of hours, but still no luck. I'm really confused. Any ideas on what's going wrong?

What motherboard are you using? Sometimes sharing a picture of your build can really help others spot any potential issues. If you're using an Asus Prime Z490-P, it’s worth running a BIOS update. If the CPU you received is a newer version, it might not be supported with the current BIOS. Glad I could at least point you in the right direction!
Have you checked if the GPU is recognized by your PC? Since the Intel CPU has integrated graphics, it might be running without the GPU. But note that the KF versions don't come with integrated graphics, so that might not be the case. Double-check your connections!
Make sure to check which lights are on your motherboard. Depending on your model, there might be labels like CPU, DRAM, VGA, and boot indicators. It could help pinpoint where the problem is coming from.
